Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 501

"Yes, the new movie is indeed a biographical movie about Mr. John Nash. This is different from "The Pianist". In my opinion, "The Pianist" is more like observing that tragic and dark time from a personal perspective. So the meaning contained in it has gone far beyond ordinary biographical movies. As an aside, although Mr. Spielman has just passed away, fortunately he has seen the movie and gave a fairly good evaluation, which is really frightening. May he rest in peace in heaven.

Well, back on topic, I know Mr. Nash was controversial in many ways when he was young, but that's not what I wanted to focus on in the movie.We must know that although biographical films can be moderately artistic, we must be careful when dealing with these controversial places.It doesn't matter if it is artistic, but it must be based on respecting the facts, rather than saying that some are not.To add one's own opinion out of thin air without authorization is to be disrespectful to the biographical characters, and it is not what a rigorous director should do.

That's right, I'm talking about the movie Cello, for which I make no secret of my distaste.

Coming back again, I plan to observe Mr. Nash's life from two aspects, how he fell into the chaos and how he got out of the chaos, and what is the power that makes Mrs. Alicia never leave with him.I dare not say that the life of Mr. Nash can be completely and truly reflected in the movie. That is what a documentary should do, and a two-hour movie is still shorter than a human life.But at least I know which places can be processed and which places can't mess around.

As for those tabloid stories, hey guys, when did they get 100% believable?Please, anyone can talk when looking at a picture, and one hundred people have one hundred different opinions on the same picture, so just look at these things for fun, and then laugh about it. If you really believe it, then..., well, just so. "

After crackling and typing the last line, Angela read it again from the beginning to the end, and closed the notebook after nodding with satisfaction.Although "A Beautiful Mind" has been keeping a low profile during the preparation, it doesn't mean that it can continue to keep a low profile after shooting on the university campus. Don't think that the students in famous universities are all nerds.

So it’s not a big deal to honestly admit on the blog that what I shoot is not a big deal. First, it can make a little hype about my new movie, and second, it can prevent those paparazzi from randomly reading pictures and making up stories.

In fact, she already wanted to do this when Harvard started, but at that time she was busy dealing with Kate, Jessica and Natalie, and then she was troubled by her own emotions when she returned to Princeton. Then she threw it behind her head, and even though the scene of arguing with Kate was published in the tabloids, she couldn't remember it.

It wasn't until I returned to Boston alone after the quarrel, and finally calmed down my chaotic mood after a series of things happened, that I turned over the plan again.

"Lily," Angela beckoned for Alizee to come over, then handed the notebook to her, "Remember to remind me to go online and post what I wrote today to my blog when I got back to the hotel."

It's a pity that the wireless network is currently only a local area network. As for Weibo... the technology for mobile phone shooting is not yet mature.

"Understood." Alizee nodded, "Do you want to call Wilde over?"

"No, I'll go directly, and I have to explain to them my next request and talk to Russell and Kate." Angela smiled, and turned around after walking a few steps: "Lily."

"I'm here," Alizee raised her head, maintaining her usual calmness.

"It's nothing, it's just..." Angela made a few meaningless gestures for the last time, "Thank you."

"No need." Alizee shrugged, she thought for a while and added: "We are just an employment relationship."

"Oh, come on, Lily, do you know that makes me sad," Angela couldn't help rolling her eyes, "I thought our relationship should be closer. You should know that I didn't just because That's what the assistant said."

"I'm just passing by, don't worry about it so much." Alizee didn't seem to hear her complaint.

"Well, anyway, thank you." Angela shook her head and muttered softly, "Awkward girl."

In fact, everyone has moments when they are uncomfortable, and don't they also bury their heads in the sand on certain issues.Angela sighed in her heart, walked a few steps to the middle of the crowd and clapped her hands: "Guys, it's time to continue!"

After resting for 10 minutes, the members of the crew of "A Beautiful Mind" moved again, adjusting their respective tasks according to the director's instructions and preparing to continue filming.

"That's okay, anyway, the lighting problem can be adjusted in the later stage." After exchanging opinions with the assistant director, Angela walked to the two main actors who were talking about the lines.

"I don't need to say much about the scene where Nash and Alicia meet, I believe you are ready," Angela said and turned to Russell Crowe, "Although you will definitely be unhappy, I I still want to remind you again, Russell. The math problem written on the blackboard was actually written by Nash, not just random symbols like those before. So if you say a wrong line and write a wrong symbol, we have to Start all over again, don't make me yell NG too many times!"

"Just wait and see." Russell said confidently and walked out of the classroom.

Kate was going to go to the back of the classroom, but Angela stopped her immediately: "Kate, you can try to add something of your own, as long as you grasp Alicia's sense of independence."

"...Okay, I see." Kate looked into Angela's eyes for a long while, then nodded calmly.

Angela was slightly relieved in her heart, at least on the surface, it seemed that Kate was not very angry anymore - thanks to Alizee's information.So tonight maybe...

With the sound of the baffle, the scene of Nash and Alicia's first acquaintance began to shoot.This scene is very simple. Nash is in class, but the workers outside are hitting the concrete floor with machines. Closing the windows can reduce the noise, but the room will become stuffy.At this time, Alicia, who was sitting at the end, went straight to the window, opened it, and discussed loudly with the construction workers, hoping that they would wait until after class before coming here to continue working.After a few kind words, the worker agreed to her request, and Alicia got into Nash's eyes.

The reason why the plot is arranged in this way is to highlight Alicia's independent character. No matter why the two of them came together in reality, there must be a reasonable reason and process in the movie.

In Angela's view, the reason why Nash fell in love with Alicia has something to do with her independent personality.At that time, it was the end of the 50s, and the women's liberation movement had just begun to take shape, so this kind of women had a special appeal.Similarly, Alicia's ability to guard Nash for decades is also due to the strength of this independent personality.

So here she arranged a small detail. When Nash couldn't handle the dilemma of noise and stuffiness, Alicia took the initiative to go to the window and open it to negotiate with the workers outside. He glanced at Nash proudly.At that time, Angela will give a close-up shot, showing Alicia's character for the first time.

"Cut!" With Angela's voice, the camera paused shooting, and then Russell raised his hand actively with depression.This kind of antics made the surrounding crew members and several extras couldn't help laughing, because it was the fourth time that NG was said because of the wrong lines, and Angela really got it right.

"Do you want to take a break, Russell?" Angela looked at him teasingly with her arms folded, "Kate's scenes are over."

"If your situation doesn't repeat, I definitely won't keep you waiting too long." Russell shook his arms and said with a grin.After Angela came back from Boston, although the requirements were still strict, at least they were not as harsh as before, approaching unreasonable trouble, and there were many more smiles on her face, which is why Russell said so.

Angela, who just listened to it, was very upset. When she asked the crew harshly because of certain problems, she tried her best to conceal that she was targeting Kate, but everyone still saw it.Now I am working hard to mend the relationship with Kate, but Russell came here and said, if Kate is unhappy because everyone thinks about the past, my work will be in vain!

"Really, then we won't rest," Angela gave him a cold look, then waved to the assistant director, "Go on, I think Russell should be confident now, he has learned the previous lesson. "

The small town of Princeton at the beginning of the lights looks a little deserted, but this is also one of the characteristics of small towns in the United States.Strolling on the streets at this time has a special taste, not to mention that as a 13-dollar colony at the time of American independence, many buildings with the style of the [-]th century are preserved here, so the scenery here is also very good except for Princeton University.

But Angela didn't have much interest in wandering the streets at this time. She and Natalie visited the town a few years ago when they visited Princeton, and besides, there were always some lingering paparazzi wandering around the town.

Of course, these are not the main reasons. After dinner, Angela has more important things to do after finishing some things that need to be processed in the room, such as uploading blog posts.

Angela, who was in the mirror in the hotel corridor and tidied her hair, took a deep breath with a wry smile, walked a few steps outside Kate's room, and knocked on the door.

"What's the matter?" Kate's voice soon came from behind.

Angela bit her lip before answering: "Room service."

The footsteps that had already reached the door stopped suddenly, and a few seconds later, Kate Gujing's impassive face appeared in front of her amid the sound of the door opening: "I don't remember that I didn't ask for service."

"Can you let me in?" Angela pleaded and even said in a low voice.

Kate pursed her lips and stared at Angela for a few seconds before getting out of the way. The two entered the room and sat down on both sides of the sofa, before Kate spoke again: "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"..." A wry smile flashed across Angela's face again, and she twisted her closed hands a few times: "I want...to talk to you about the next scene...you know...the time span is about several decades, so……"

She secretly observed the other party while she was talking, and seeing Kate looking at her expressionlessly, she finally sighed and raised her hands: "Okay, Kate, I'm here to apologize."

"Apologize?" Kate finally raised her eyebrows, "Is there something that Miss Genius needs to apologize for?"

"Don't be like this, Kate, please," Angela said with a bitter face, "I'm sorry, I was really wrong. I'm selfish and petty, and I never care about other people's feelings. When you get what you want, you cry and cry. If you are stubborn, no one can persuade you back, it seems that you don't know what flexibility is..."

Hearing her nagging, the corners of Kate's mouth couldn't help but twitch: "What else?"

"Let me think about it..." As if she didn't hear the sarcasm in the other party's tone, Angela raised her head and touched her chin and thought seriously for a few seconds: "By the way, I always kick the quilt randomly, and once I hug you to sleep No matter how hard you refuse to let go. There is also farting without saying hello, and often grabbing food from you..."

"Angie!" Kate finally couldn't help it, and yelled through gritted teeth, but Angela's next words made her stunned.

"...Of course, the biggest mistake was leaving Princeton and going back to Boston without telling you anything. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done it. I was out of my mind and I thought it would make you happy to get Best Actress, But... I'm a fool, I don't know how to face you, I just want to be alone, so I hid without leaving any message, I didn't think about your feelings... I'm sorry, Kate..." In the end, Angela curled up on the sofa. She lowered her head and didn't care if Kate heard it or not, just murmured to herself.

"Okay, Angie, although I'm very upset about your sudden departure, I don't blame you..." Kate's heart softened, after all, this was the first quarrel since they became a couple.The reason why Angela has been indirectly trying to repair the relationship during the filming these days is probably to prepare for the current apology, and there is no need to continue to be angry.

"No, no, Kate, you don't understand. I'm just worried. I'm just scared. I'm afraid that I might lose you one day." Angela kept shaking her head, "I wanted to hold on to you, but... I used a Extremely stupid way, I'm a fool..."

"Relax, Angie, relax, it's okay." Kate quickly sat next to Angela, hugged her into her arms and continued to comfort her: "I'm right here, don't worry, honey, I'm right here."

Angela hugged Kate tightly, as if she would disappear from her side in the next second: "You won't leave me, will you?"

"Of course, unless you don't want me." Kate said jokingly, and then sighed slightly: "Actually, I was also at fault, I shouldn't... This is really funny, but I took this damn feeling seriously..."

However, Angela didn't notice the following words, the phrase "unless you don't want me" made her feel extremely bitter.After careful planning for so long, I hope to get myself out of the emotional predicament, but in the end I still choose to be an ostrich.

I still have a chance right?I will definitely be able to make a more precise plan next time, and it will definitely work then.Although Angela was holding her breath in her heart.It's just that she herself probably doesn't believe the words, otherwise how could she suddenly lose control when she was apologizing?

"Is it better now?" Kate asked, stroking her back.Following her, she joked again: "It's really unexpected that Miss Genius, who is always confident when she picks up the guide tube, would be so insecure."

"Kate!" Angela raised her head and yelled in dissatisfaction, but the next disturbance was silenced.

The familiar and warm feeling instantly flowed through her whole body through her lips, making her body gradually soften.

"Is it better now?" After sucking her lips again, Kate let go of Angela and looked at her with a smile.

Angela didn't speak, but wrapped her arms around her neck again, buried her head in her chest for a long time before standing up: "Thank you, Kate, that's it, I'll go back first."

However, Kate obviously didn't intend to let her leave so soon, she stretched out her hand and pulled Angela into her arms without any explanation, and then pinched her hips with a half-smile: "You want to leave so soon?"

"Then...then what else can I do?" Angela was a little terrified by the kneading sensation on her butt, although she knew what the other party was thinking, she still asked pretending not to know.

"Don't ask what you know, Angie!" Kate said viciously, her eyes were full of smiles, "I kept studying and pondering for this damn role, and I went to children's shelters and hospitals to experience life. I have been abstinent for several months! Finally, the filming started Yes, but you not only pick and choose my acting skills but also do things that make me sad, how can I charge some interest!"

Kate said turning over and pressing her on the sofa, smiling like a big bad wolf.

Angela didn't know if she was really startled or pretended to be shocked, and then she folded her hands on her chest and said cautiously, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate now, is it?"

"Who told you...it's inappropriate now?" Kate narrowed her eyes with a dangerous look, clearly refusing to let her go.

"...Do whatever you want." Angela immediately closed her eyes and made an expression of resignation.

Crazy venting a few times may allow myself to temporarily forget those troubles.

It's just that some things cannot be escaped forever, maybe a temporary escape can delay the occurrence of certain things, but you will not postpone it indefinitely, and if it reaches a certain level...it will be a disaster!
